The poison had gone all through and over me and

relatives thought would die. 1t was several days

From Us pounds (my proper weght) ran down

scarcely better than II skeleton.
Ifanybody had taken Ratchet and knocked me

throat and 1t wouldn't help you "
On the strength of this gave up the of qui

nonsense II can't do me any good But she went
to druggists. nevertheless. to get it, The druggist
advised her against Ka7kine; he said it was nothing

Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without the least
faith, began taking it. In one week was better.
